I was just thinking of a post too. MXL 9000 Tube with supply for $149.99
Ordered on GC pay tax....Musicians Friend save $12 no tax...
Mixed reviews like the ART stuff, get a good one they're great and last 15yrs...others hum out of the box and you start the shipping hell game, which I suppose can happen to anything but maybe more so on super-high selling units.
Still...$149 for a tube mic, with cable and power supply....mmm if its a good one?
